5 LBS in 2 Weeks!

Okay ladies, I'd like to lose 5 pds before our engagement pictures in 2 weeks!

I've already lost over 10 pds - but really want to be down 5 lbs prior to our pictures.

Here's what my plan is - please let me know what I'm missing or if I should be eating anything in particular to do it...

Gym - 1 hour a day / 5 days a week - including cardio and weight lifting, one night of Zumba

Food - I normally have something light for breakfast - i.e. whole wheat piece of bread w/ Nutella, a grain bar. Lunch is a turkey sandwich w/ whole wheat or a soup. Dinner depends - but overall, I eat pretty healthy just don't think I eat enough.

Drinks - I really only drink water and or tea sometimes.

THANK YOU!!! If I can lose 5 pds before the pictures I will feel AMAAAAAAAZING!

You can def do it!!! I'd recommend cutting the weight lifting and increase cardio. Also decrease bread intake and increase veggies and protein (grilled chicken/salmon). Good luck!! I'm sure you'll be fine regardless :)

Try hot yoga! It's like taking a diuretic!! It helps with water weight (at least that day!).

decrease your bread intake overall. I started making myself sandwiches for work - no mayo, no cheese and one slice of bread cut in half.

Your plan looks good...i do agree about limiting the bread. maybe do fruit for breakfast?
As for tea...i hear green tea is very good for you

Honestly I would nix the nutella on bread. Maybe do egg beaters and veggies instead. Sometimes I make that the night before to avoid cooking in the AM and just heat for like 20 seconds. Less carbs and sugar the better but I with the amount of gym time you are putting in, you should have no problem!
Also no eating past 7-8pm is a good trick and no alcohol

i agree about the bread! and I think you should throw in a couple of snacks (maybe fruit, or veggies), just to keep the metabolism going strong!

Re: 5 LBS in 2 Weeks!

I would def. decrease the bread.

I actually did the same thing. before my e-pics I wanted to lose some quick weight so I cut out pretty much all bread and pasta for a week and it defintiely worked/

The new WW really helps you to cut down on carbs and I've found it helpful tp replace the bread with fruit and/or veggies. Cut out the granola bar.

For lunch try egg whites with veggies and low fat cheese, fo lunch maybe a bowl fo soup (no rice or pasta) or a salad. If you MUST have carbs, not at dinner. Have your dinner meal with the rice ro whatever for lunch and then the soup or egg whites for dinner

Decrease the bread is key.

You're missing snacks. An apple, handful of nuts. You want to drop 5 lbs without looking starved in your face. Fruit and Veggies help you keep a glow :)

Drink tons of water and try making the WW veggie soup for lunch once in a while. It has cabbage and it helps you shed water.

Try and do 1.5 hrs a day at the gym. That extra 30 mins will totally make a difference

Re: 5 LBS in 2 Weeks!

one suggestions- you dont really eat enough like you mentioned...try and eat 5-6 small meals a day every 3-4 hrs. and make sure to eat a lot of protein!
